There is rarely a vacancy list worth reading, so this is the whole staff instead — every post at the school, what it is called and who holds it today. It is the only way to see what work exists here before one of them opens.

Vacancies are posted to the district’s Applitrack site as they come up, and there is no standing list of them anywhere. Recent postings have included a special education paraprofessional, 8:15 to 3:15, and a Title I paraprofessional — both of which are in the table above, because the posts exist whether or not they are open.
Every advertised opening — teaching, paraprofessional, food service, buildings and grounds — is applied for through Applitrack, not through the school office.

The district does not hire its own substitutes. It contracts with Kelly Education, formerly Teachers On Call, so you apply to them and not to the school. If you already sub for a neighbouring district through Kelly, do not reapply — ask them to add Kenyon-Wanamingo.
Kelly Education, 1-800-713-4439.
Coaching and advisory posts sit alongside teaching contracts and are not always advertised the same way. The activities director is the person to ask, and the activities pages list who holds each one now.

Source: the district staff directory at kw.k12.mn.us, read October 1, 2026. Posts, not people, are the point of this page — names are here because they are published there and because it tells you who to ask.
Jobs across the whole town, not just the school, are on the Kenyon jobs page.
